Lately there have been many new threads for very simple and basic questions that tend to be answered with a small amount of posts and then fall into oblivion. This thread is for those sort of questions that are believed to be very simple and not thread worthy, and also a way to keep those kinds of questions available with the answers in one thread in case someone is experiencing the same problem, and could easily look it up. Remember to check this thread or the forum for an answer before posting.

I tried to put this code, (from a Sonic 1 ROM, below,) into my Sonic 2 hack, and it spat out an error about StartOfROM being $C.

SRAMSupport:	dc.l $5241E020		; change to $5241E020 to create	SRAM

			dc.l $200000		; SRAM start

			dc.l $20FFFF		; SRAM end

How should I get this to work?

I know I'm going about this the wrong way.

This code does everything--except for moving Sonic!

Does anyone have any idea exactly why this code, inserted into Sonic 2, with the proper

Obj01_MdNormal

call does not work and how to fix it?

I think the code was meant for in-air movement, but don't know how to fix it.

Don't call to this from Obj01_MdNormal, try md_jump or md_air.

If that doesn't work, there might be something else wrong with the code.

I was just wondering if anyone could help me code the eggman monitor so it hurts sonic, I did try using the spike code but all it does is play the dieing sound

Can any one help me please??

[MikeTH]

You need to show us the code before we can make any logical assumptions to what you did wrong. We don't know everything Liam, a lot of us here do know quite a bit though.

You most likely chose hex values that aren't empty. you should open up you hex editor and check, as using hex values that are already used cause games to go haywire. At least that's what I've learned form my in's and out's with ASM.

No, you don't understand; I mean I want it to happen when you're on the ground.

Sorry, about any unclearness.

Check this out. Here is a simple guide on how to add this function.

Just tell it to jump to Obj01_Hurt. That's it.

{NEW QUESTION}

I was thinking about music editing, noticed Qjimbo's porter tool, and it was extremely helpful--until I noticed all the ill effects on my hack, which used a disassembly. Does anyone know of an equivalent tool that works on the disassembly files?

Edited by fantasticfish, 10 July 2009 - 06:04 PM.

[DalekSam]

What porter tool.

Also, questions don't need a {NEW QUESTION}, it's stupid. You don't see that on Ret- oh wait.

It's bro- oh wait, it's slowly coming back.

I think the code was meant for in-air movement, but don't know how to fix it.

Change $10 to $14, 10 is used in air, $14 is used on the floor.

No problem.

[Selbi]

You will need to edit the level select text, the level select pointers and the level order. I guess these 3 functions are all included in ESE, or at least 2 of them.
